PaddlePro Executive Carbon Pickleball Paddles
Take competitive play to the next level with these carbon fiber pickleball paddles designed to rival any competitor. Delivering the ideal blend of control, power, and consistency for advanced rallies and precision shots, the durable construction and high-performance materials make this paddle an excellent choice for players seeking elite-level performance.
Raw Carbon Fiber Surface Maximizes Shot Control
A 7-3/4"W raw carbon fiber hitting surface creates a rigid, naturally textured feel for enhanced touch and precision. The surface allows the ball to dwell longer on the paddle, helping players execute controlled dinks, accurate drops, and powerful drives with greater consistency during competitive game play. Paddle Eraser available separately for cleaning carbon fiber paddle surfaces without damage.
Honeycomb Core Expands the Sweet Spot
The 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core combines durability with responsive power for balanced performance. Its cushioned feel creates a larger sweet spot for more consistent strikes, smoother play, and controlled pop that supports accurate shot placement across a variety of playing styles.
Comfortable Grip Supports Confident Play
A 5-1/3"L handle with a 4.135" circumference fits comfortably in most hands for improved paddle control during fast-paced exchanges. The PVC grip delivers a secure, tacky feel that helps players maintain control through extended matches, drills, and competitive rallies.

Pickleball Paddles
Materials
- Wood: Best for durability and large-group value
- Composite/Graphite: Best for lightweight performance and advanced control
- Plastic: Best for younger students and introductory instruction
When Choosing, Consider:
- Player age: Younger students often benefit from lighter paddles that are easier to control.
- Skill level: Beginners may prefer durable, forgiving paddles, while experienced players often want enhanced touch and precision.
- Practice vs official play: Regulation paddles measure 15-¾ to 16”L x 8”W. Some leagues may require USA Pickleball Association (USAPA) or United Pickleball Association (UPA) approval.
Pickleball Balls
Indoor vs. Outdoor
-
Indoor: Feature 26 larger holes with fewer perforations and a softer feel, creating slower ball speeds and greater control
-
Outdoor: Feature 40 smaller holes with a more rigid plastic to withstand outdoor elements, ensuring they can keep up with more advanced play
When Choosing, Consider:
- Program use: Like with paddles, player age and skill level may benefit from the different conditions indoor or outdoor balls create.
- Construction: Colors enhance visibility while seemless designs offer more consistent play.
- Practice vs official play: USA Pickleball Association (USPA) and Professional Pickleball Registry (PPR) have official standards for size, weight, bounce, and performance.
